I know a TON of people that have wanted a Boussh..

That set is nearly perfect to me.

So what color will Jabba be? White like the picture, tan like the minifig image in the lower right, or green like we already have? I'm hoping for a tan Jabba.

I was hoping for something bigger. And I"m disappointed there's no Rancor and pit. What's that tower thing supposed to be?

[Rune_Haako]

I hope Jabba has a painted face.

It's probably a test figure for size, there's no reason for him to be white.

The tower seems like it would be some sort of sentry post. Looks like that's the entrance as a separate piece.
it's too bad they didn't do something bigger with the Palace, really, it's just his throne room.

I imagine the tower (plus the main throne) will give the appearance of a replica of the full palace once turned around.

What does everyone think the mystery mini-figure is (the one that has the POTC Hammerhead as a placeholder)? I'm banking on a new alien, one that Lego could potentially re-purpose any new sculpts into another set (such as Tessek or Ree-Yees).

I know it would make more sense in the cantina, but could the last minifigure in this pack be Hammerhead / Momaw Nadon? The shape of the silhouette seems to have 2 large lumps either side of the head, which could be his hammerhead style eyes if looking straight on.

I really hope it's Ree-Yees. Never in my wildest 1983 dreams did I imagine a LEGO Ree-Yees would one day exist.
